1. Project Description

Given the current socio-technical regime around urban mobility in cities worldwide, more than 85% of daily trips are made on private motorized vehicles, representing a staggering 41% share of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions or a total of 8.04 billion tons of Co2.¹. This regime not only sets a tunnel vision on carbon emissions, but also limits the incentives to reduce CO2 emissions by non-institutional means, thereby preventing any progress towards achieving net-zero mobility.²

Our proposal seeks to disrupt the existing socio-technical regime regarding carbon emissions by developing a demo for a Massive Multiplayer web3 game. Bright Forest enables never-ending interactions through public spaces using an incentives model which combines storage deals on Filecoin and content references on IPFS to support net-zero mobility in Queretaro City, México and San Francisco, CA, USA, enabling players to track calories burned and unspent CO2 not spent when they opt to go on walks or bicycle rides.³

Bright Forest will be powered by two actors deployed on the FVM (Filecoin Virtual Machine). The Public Places actor will mint public places in cities as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) with geolocation coordinates to track interactions at each location and between different locations. Users will be able to collect these minted places after taking photos and videos at each location. The recorded content will be verified by a vote of other users and the actor will match the content with the token IDs and manage storage deals on Filecoin based on the content's veracity and relevance.

The City Pool actor will track the calories burned and unspent CO2 from bicycle rides between public places NFTs, and give the equivalent units as rewards to riders. Users and places will have upgradable limits to carry both units and users will be able to deposit and move units on the public places NFTs. The calories will enable collaborative interactions and geographical distribution of quadratic funding, while the unspent CO2 will be useful for upgrading the places along with their unit capacity.

Incentives will increase depending on the accuracy of the place verifications and the authenticity of the players' identities. This actor will work as a Treasury contract to enable DeFi interactions and value game units with stablecoins and carbon credits.

1a Development Roadmap

We aim to develop a Bright Forest Demo working on Queretaro and San Francisco Cities during the first half of 2023 with 3 milestones to achieve and a budget distribution of 80% for the development team and 20% for Community Engagement Roadmap on notion:

1. Bright Forest actors (2023 Q1)

The first milestone in our project is to design and develop two key actors: the Public Places actor and the City Pool actor. These actors will manage the interactions and rewards for users, allowing them to collaborate and increase the value generated in public places. The Public Places actor will track information from urban locations to create a decentralized geolocation system. This system will allow users to mint, collect, validate, and collaborate to offer accurate information about public places, as well as distribute resources for impactful activities in those locations through quadratic funding. These funds will be allocated geographically to the places where users have burned the most calories or unspent the most CO2. All places will have a burning rate for calories to incentivize repeat visits and collaboration to keep levels high and enable access to funding for activities at the places. Players will be able to increase the place's capacity for game units and reduce the burning rate by depositing unspent CO2 to upgrade each place.

At this stage, users will be able to follow the Citizen role:

  1. Mint Place(s) as ERC 721 NFTs with photo and video content ($CALS reward and NFT creator tag)
  2. Collect Public Places NFTs by adding photos and videos that verify the place's veracity ($CALS reward)
  3. Enable places verification vote to the Public Places NFT holders, rewards on the vote for verified players (Proof of personhood)
  4. Enable $CALS deposits to stream rewards on verified places (min 10 verifications)
  5. Enable $UGAS deposits to level up places capacity, reduce the burning rate and increase rewards on the place.

2. Bright Forest Game Development (2023 Q1)

Any player will be able to play to complete rides or walks between Public Places NFTs to get $CALS units depending on the calories burned and $UGAS depending on the unused gasoline liters to complete the ride. Queretaro and SF players will be able to compete for their cities to incentivize public places NFTs minting, content creation around those places and net-zero mobility rides between them.

At this stage users will be able to follow the Rider role:

  1. Free-for-all rides with $CALS rewards from burned calories (by distance average) and $UGAS (by gasoline gallons per KM)
  2. Move ride to move deposited $CALS between public places NFTs in the same city
  3. Multiplayer rides to increase rewards and enable teams' leaderboards.

3. Set and setting on Queretaro and San Francisco Cities (2023 Q2)

We aim to carry out a private pilot test and a public pilot test by deploying 2 working demos localized to Queretaro City (Spanish content) and San Francisco (English content). We will record video tutorials on Youtube for general Web3 education and onboarding new users from any part of the world. We will also organize live workshops to prepare a simultaneous public pilot test with bicycle collectives (around 5k bicycle riders from both cities) from both cities and publish the whole process on traditional social media and available web3 channels.

HI @HabacucMX, for this project, we would be interested in reviewing a $50k proposal dedicated to building an MVP and engaging the community. If this is a good fit for your team, please update the proposal accordingly.

Note: If possible, we would recommend including documentation, education, and community engagement in your project objectives (pilot, early stages of user onboarding, etc.)

HabacucMX commented 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you for reaching out, we will update the proposal to fit this setting

ErinOCon commented 1 year ago

Thanks, @HabacucMX!

HabacucMX commented 1 year ago

We have updated the proposal, we will be glad to have your comments about it.

ErinOCon commented 1 year ago

Thanks, @HabacucMX! We will circle back once we have completed the next round of this review.

HabacucMX commented 1 year ago

Hi again, we made some upgrades to the proposal, we are integrating the storage deals through the FVM in our actors, we have added some members to the development team and we have reviewed the user interactions.

ErinOCon commented 1 year ago

Hi @HabacucMX, I know it has been a considerable amount of time since we have provided an update for this proposal. In light of the macroeconomic climate, the review of our budget and priorities for the fiscal year has resulted in a longer evaluation period. Thank you for all of your patience!

Unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with a grant at this time. Wishing you all the best as you continue to build!
